Help me fill my veggie tray :)

[lovetoscrap]

I would recommend that no matter what else you use, carrot sticks or baby carrots should be on there. Even the most picky eaters usually eat carrots, and kids love them. It seems like veggies are one thing that people have strong preferences about, and carrots are sort of universal, and go with most any dip. Any time I have been at a function with a veggie tray (and I have been to lots!) the carrots are the first thing to go.

I like to do celery, carrots, english cukes, red / yellow pepper strips and baby corn in the middle(it is usually in the asian section at the store). Sometimes I also do grape tomatoes. I put the dip in a side bowl with a spoon. I always consider olives and pickles good-to-go on their own in another dish for munching.

It actually requires a poll to get enough ideas to fill a veggie tray, and an instruction sheet to fill the section in the middle? Sorry for the disbelief, I guess I never reached that level of idle chit-chat.

ETA I almost forgot why I came back to this thread.
OP, I just found a sun dried tomato dip mix on Amazon and thought it sounded good even though its not the typical dip found on a veggie tray.
I ordered it, hopefully its good

If one actually has to conduct a poll in order to put together a veggie tray, then there is very little liklihood that any input would actually be helpful. Or understood, for that matter.

Also, hummus is a good dip. I love it with celery. MMMMMM

Food is always worth talking about. And it's turned into lots of useful recipes and ideas, more than what the OP had in mind.

Not really a veggie tray with olives, cucumbers and tomatoes. All three are fruits.

But definitely go for a dip in the middle, and I'd also add red/yellow peppers.

Aren't you a peach

I'll throw my 2 cents in since I love veggie trays. I love fresh endive on my trays and my favorite dip is a parmesan dip:
